I have been on the fence about contrails, but yesterday I saw clouds that might have been an old contrail that was wavy that had a long end that jetted off in a straight line. I thought that did not look normal. At the same time, I saw three planes two seemed to be at similar altitudes and one at a higher altitude in the same area. One left a large and distinct contrail that stayed in the sky the other did not have any vaper coming off it at all and the higher one has a trail that dissipated quickly. So what gives, all in the same area of each other similar altitudes.
This gets me too. Contrails evaporate quickly- they don't stay and then spread out and then join with other contrails to form a dull thin cloud cover.
Or, they never used to. These persistent expanding contrails that cross-cross the sky in a grid pattern and join to form a blanket of gray didn't happen when I was growing up. Just regular thin trails behind the plane that vanished. Maybe they use a different type of jet fuel now?
Those who deny "chemtrails" or refuse to even consider the possibility, they are VERY sure that the "chemtrail" deal is nonsense, and they will shame you down with many facts and scientific explanations. I usually feel like a giant fool for even considering the possibility; for even questioning the expanding contrails that take over the blue sky.
On topic, the squiggly one is cute. Doesn't it look like the trail left by various (or maybe one specific) aspect of rocket launches? Was it that?

Really? Is this the first windy day ever? Seems like it should be happening all the time, if it's the wind.
It looks like the printout from a heart monitor.
Lol. Some ATS members love acting out their alias names.
Yep, its the winds fault and the IGNORANT believe it.
Plane doing a everyday standard U-Turn(s).

I haven't posted on this site for so long I've forgotten how to I don't use a computer anymore just mobile phone. Until ATS can make it easier to embed a photo I think I will just stick with the link that takes you direct to the photos and news report. It's interesting what you say about if it was due to wing tip distortion of the air why aren't we seeing this more often? There seems to be a need for rare circumstances of weather to come together so this type of contrail can happen.

The fact is, jet trails always use to dissipate decades ago, now the vast majority do not. i wonder why ?

Holding pattern.
Maybe... However, the location is ~300 miles west of Heathrow.
Seems a bit odd to have to do a holding pattern when it had 300 miles to slow down enough to not have to go through a holding pattern.
